The walking tour was fantastic. My son, his girlfriend, and I enjoyed every minute. The tour guide, Gabriel, was extremely informative, funny, captivating, and engaging. He kept our attention for over two hours with facts about Alfama’s history and culture, funny tales, valuable recommendations and anecdotes. Would emphatically recommend this tour any other tour for which Gabriel is a guide for.

Mariana es la mejor guía de toda Lisboa, se nota que ama tanto a su trabajo como a su ciudad. Transmite la pasión que siente hacia Lisboa a los viajeros. Las explicaciones fueron amenas y nos hicieron aprender, descubrir el encanto de Alfama y pasarlo muy bien. También nos llevó a probar la Ginjinha del señor Carlos que estaba buenísima y nos deleitó cantando fado en la última parada del tour. Además, nos facilitó información para poder disfrutar al máximo de la cuidad durante nuestra visita. Translate this opinion into English.

Mariana is the best guide in all of Lisbon, it shows that she loves both her job and her city. He transmits the passion he feels towards Lisbon to the travellers. The explanations were pleasant and made us learn, discover the charm of Alfama and have a great time. He also took us to try Mr. Carlos's Ginjinha, which was very good, and he delighted us singing fado at the last stop of the tour. In addition, he provided us with information to be able to enjoy the city to the fullest during our visit. Opinion translated. Show original.

On a adoré! Mélanie est une guide vraiment super qui nous a beaucoup appris sans pour autant nous abreuver de détails que nous n'aurions pas retenu. Elle est de bons conseils (nous avons d'ailleurs fini le tour par un déjeuner dans un restaurant qu'elle nous avait conseillé pendant la balade) et bienveillante (elle adapte le rythme en fonction du groupe de personnes). On a vraiment passé un bon moment, on n'a pas vu le temps passer. Une belle expérience qu'on recommande. Translate this opinion into English.

We loved it! Mélanie is a really great guide who taught us a lot without giving us details that we would not have remembered. She gives good advice (we actually ended the tour with lunch in a restaurant she had recommended to us during the walk) and benevolent (she adapts the pace according to the group of people). We really had a good time, we did not see the time passing. A great experience that we recommend. Opinion translated. Show original.

El tour fue fantástico. Flora es una guía con muchos conocimientos y gran simpatía que nos supo transmitir perfectamente las particularidades históricas, culturales y sociales de un barrio tan característico como la Alfama. Además, nos dio varios consejos para seguir conociendo la ciudad con las mayores comodidades. Repetiría sin duda. Translate this opinion into English.

Il tour è carino e interessante, anche se l'ho trovato più scarno rispetto a quello classico ("Free tour di Lisbona") e a tratti un po' lento: molte soste, molte "chiacchiere" con i partecipanti per organizzare altri tour o prenotare esperienze consigliate dalla guida (è assolutamente lecito il voler pubblicizzare le proprie attività, ma sarebbe più corretto dedicare un momento a parte a fine tour). Molto bello il quartiere.

The tour is nice and interesting, even if I found it leaner than the classic one ("Free tour of Lisbon") and at times a bit slow: many stops, a lot of "chat" with the participants to organize other tours or book experiences recommended by the guide (it is absolutely legitimate to want to advertise your activities, but it would be more correct to dedicate a moment apart at the end of the tour). The neighborhood is very nice.

Le nostre guide fanno del loro meglio per rendere i contenuti il più possibile piacevoli e completi. Spesso forniscono raccomandazioni su tempo libero, ristoranti e altre attività correlate che i partecipanti trovano spesso interessanti. Ci dispiace che in questo caso non sia stato così. Siamo comunque lieti che il tour vi sia piaciuto. Translate this opinion into English.

Our guides do their best to make the content as enjoyable and complete as possible. They often provide recommendations on leisure, dining, and other related activities that attendees often find interesting. We are sorry that this was not the case in this case. However, we are pleased that you enjoyed the tour. Opinion translated. Show original.

He hecho un tour por Lisboa centro con Kike y sin dudarlo puedo decir que ha sido el mejor free tour que he hecho nunca, y he hecho muchos. No sólo es un guía, es un apasionado de la historia, de la ciudad, respeta su esencia y lo transmite a los turistas. No sólo cuenta, a veces interpreta. He sentido la emoción como cuando veo una película. Sus consejos son reales, sin intención de interés personal detrás. Lo malo es que después de él va a ser muy difícil superar ese nivel. Translate this opinion into English.

I have done a tour of downtown Lisbon with Kike and without hesitation I can say that it has been the best free tour I have ever done, and I have done many. He is not only a guide, he is passionate about history, about the city, he respects its essence and transmits it to tourists. He not only tells, sometimes he interprets. I have felt the emotion like when I see a movie. His advice is real, with no personal interest behind it. The bad thing is that after him it will be very difficult to overcome that level.

Paseo increible por el barrio de Alfama. Fuimos con Diana, guía excepcional, aprendiendo historia, escuchando anecdotas, conociendo a vecinos hasta llegar al mirador de Santa Lucia. Luego nos dio muchas recomendaciones para escuchar fado y comer o cenar por alli. Diana es entrañable, difícil de olvidar. Gracias!! Translate this opinion into English.

Incredible walk through the Alfama neighborhood. We went with Diana, an exceptional guide, learning history, listening to anecdotes, meeting neighbors until we reached the Santa Lucia viewpoint.

La guía no me pareció que tuviese un conocimiento profundo del lugar. Tampoco resolvió dudas al respecto de la zona, entorno, otros monumentos cercanos. De hecho algunas cosas daba su opinión personal como que no sabía que ilustres personas estaban en el panteon nacional y que no merecía la. Pena visitarlo. Algo totalmente desacertado pues ese día era gratuito y es una obra majestuosa digno de visitar

The guide did not seem to me to have a deep knowledge of the place. Nor did it resolve doubts regarding the area, surroundings, other nearby monuments. In fact, some things he gave his personal opinion such as that he did not know that illustrious people were in the national pantheon and that he did not deserve it. It's worth visiting. Something totally wrong because that day was free and it is a majestic work worth visiting
